Flute Orchestra

Flute – Electric & Orchestral Elements – Grand Piano

This piece plays with being rich and full in sound. It consists of multiple layered elements wellfully mixed together to let central elements like the Grand Piano shine through. It might remind one of the joy that spring may spark in the beginning of a new year. What I like most about it, is how rich and detailed it turned out. And with that, it leaves a great mark on my path of being a musician, as I am getting better and better at producing a good mix with every piece.


Snippet of Funky

Electric – Bass Driven – Energetic

Its title describes its being. This is a rather short mix of various synth melodies. The special thing about it lies in the build up: a melodic bass part in the beginning with every next element being introduced one after the other, all resolving in a rich, full and detailed techno-like apex at the end. Last may and should definitely be expanded in the future.

Rythmic Melancholia

Calimba – Background Vocals – Acoustic Guitar

Playfull and rythmic. That’s what you will associate with the piece after hearing the first minute. Do not arrive with to much expectation however as this is a rather unfinished state. It still provides an interesting pattern and a lot of thought put into every instrument track. Surely, it is taking an important place in the lineup containing the first vocals ever in a piece of mine.

Played on a Steinway – Recorded with an iPhone

The 9 minutes and 36 seconds of unedited solo piano consist of a mashup of multiple different approaches. You will be able to enjoy an instance of Cinematic Approach Vol. 1  as well as a hint of Jazz followed by a brand new rather

emotional approach in C-sharp Aeolian which is yet to be extracted into its own piece. The picture on the right shows the exact Steinway on which this was played on by the way.

Some time marks: 0:00 for Cinematic Approach; 3:42 for Jazz; 5:43 for emotions.

Cinematic Approach Vol. 1

Piano Piece – C harmonic minor

This will be the flagship considering all piano pieces of mine. The rather conceptional name derives from two main aspects. Firstly, the piece you will be listening to dominates with its epic and unwavering way while still holding up to a harmonic and stunning feeling in your body, when played on a proper grand piano. And secondly, the Cinematic Approach exposes its minimalistic and defined harmonic composition quite directly. This is where its beauty comes from.


That Happy Thing

Piano Piece

That Happy Thing is close to being completely unreachable as there only exist very few, rather poor recordings and close to no remembrance in my fingers. That is because I have neither written down any notes nor played the piece regularly. I guess this is what you get, when playing everything intuitively without coming back to the classical style of studying music.
